Andrew Griswold is a working man who built his own business. He owns Andrew Griswold Flooring, LLC, in Niceville, Florida — a small operation he started and put his own name on. That is who he was before, and who he is: a tradesman and a business owner from the Florida Panhandle. (FACT — occupation reported in Niceville-area coverage.) He also turned himself in rather than wait to be found — a detail worth keeping in the record. The court record, straight: Griswold entered the Capitol on January 6, 2021, pleaded guilty to a civil disorder charge, and was sentenced on July 13, 2022 to 75 days, plus supervised release and restitution. Charges are charges; this was his plea and the court's sentence. His case was among those addressed by the January 20, 2025 clemency for January 6 defendants. (FACT.) Case record: No. 1:21-cr-459, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested March 5, 2021. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
